Peaches and Cream Cheese Loaf is a delicious and moist dessert that combines the sweetness of peaches with the richness of cream cheese. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can optionally glaze the loaf with a simple mixture of powdered sugar and milk for added sweetness.
